The New Cedar River Experience Explained by Gary Kroeger

Gary Kroeger told us that downtown Cedar Falls is trying to create The Cedar River Experience by developing the Cedar River for water sports activity and recreation.  

It’s very swim-ple!  This development will create raging white water rapids for kayaking, calmer pathways for inner tube wading, and a swimmers paradise. They plan that this will create an attraction that will be a huge draw for enthusiasts of all ages.
It will be quite "swim-ressive!"  

This project will cost $4 million. Cedar Falls needs to raise 25% of this total. Gary Kroeger and his Cedar River committee have already raised about 25% of needed funds and the rest will come from donations and grants.  

This project's economic impact will be a boon for the local businesses and markets and enhance our quality of life.

Steve Smith Leads the North Cedar Neighborhood Renovation

North Cedar Neighborhood Association is headed up by a resident of that section of town, Steve Smith, who really cares about his community and the functionality of Cedar Falls.  

Over time, North Cedar Falls has not been maintained and it is long overdue for a serious upgrade and update.  When visitors travel into town from the North, the area really looks neglected and it is a bad reflection on the city as a whole. North Cedar's residents have decided to make a difference in their neighborhood. 

Steve is out gathering financial support to change the direction and make improvements so it gives the city a good first impression and improves the quality of life for all residents.
